| Abstrakt: | This qualitative study examined the influence of service-learning on the development of Students' feelings of civic responsibility while involved with a community-based organization. Occupational therapy students involved in a semester-long service-learning experience maintained weekly reflective journals. Six such reflective journals were randomly selected for analysis. Findings revealed that while engaged in service-learning the six participants voiced themes ofincreased self-awareness, awareness of homeless individuals as persons, awareness of social issues, andprofessional self-efficacy. These developing competencies are associated with the skills required for health care professionals to participate in civic engagement and client advocacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
